Arlington Cemetery,Washington D.C.

Okay, so Larry and I road the Metro today to Arlington Cemetary and Washington D.C. That was a whole new experiece for us. We have never been on a public train like this before. It was really strange, but no one made eye contact and no one talked. I guess no one wanted to be disturbed. Oh well. Drew and Marissa gave very good instructions and we had no problems finding the stops we needed.

Here is one of many pictures of Arlington Cemetery. This was a very humbling experience to know that so many people have died to keep us free. As they say "freedom is not free" and this really brings it home.
Next stop was the Mall in Washington D.C. We walked from the Metro stop to the Capital around the mall to the Washington Monument, past the World War II Memorial, up to the Lincoln Memorial and over to the Korean Memorial and back to the Metro stop. Needless to say Larry and my legs were sooooooooooooooo tired by the end of that, but it certainly was interesting.

The buildings were so beautiful and it really is a shame that they don't build them like that anymore.

As you can tell there were a few people visiting, but not nearly as many as there would be in the busy summer time.

What a very inspiring place to be. I just wish there was a little more common sense like ole Abe here had back in the day.
